New challenge in development and next video


Greetings to our fans, we’re back with more updates! Last week, we took a short break from development to unwind and think about the next course of action. We ran into some complications with pedestrian behavior - especially the pathfinding system, which we will unfortunately have to rework. But the solution is on the way and will help the game in the future :)

Despite that, I did manage to prepare something for you - the third timelapse video of the development. This time, we will be adding new animations, creating a temporary test character in the style of Minecraft (which you may remember from our very first screenshot), and write a simple script that shows how noisy our zombie is.

I hope you enjoy, I had a lot of material this time so I’m glad I managed to turn everything into one video. Next time, we’ll be expanding the city - you can look forward to that (hopefully) next Monday :)

This creature was unexpectedly created during animation test :)

There is small demonstration of some city parts, which already have form

The new monitor has joined to our team :) Concept of the game map is progressing very well, I’m just learning how effective developing with two monitors is :)

Perhaps our zombie used to be a gardener before the transformation?

New header and logo! New header and logo! We finally updated the game profile with current graphics :) The image in the header is combination of gameplay and artwork, showing main character searching for his victims.

Hiding in places and move between them This week I wrote the basics of a new feature which allows players to hide in certain places, and quickly move between them. Here is GIF:

Designing the ideal map with simple shapes in Blender

Besides working on the AI, we have almost finished the first car model - only mapping and texturing is left.

Work on the combat system has begun! First test of combat system: Mighty zombie was thrown onto the roof by enemy’s minigolf club :)

We've decided to replace custom AI with RAIN AI. Just starting to learn the plugin, but it already looks very powerful.
